Gracie | Anytime

Winter blues no more! Well, at least not momentarily. Gracie and I set out on an all day outdoor adventure on Wednesday while the weather was gorgeous. Now that she wants to be in front of the camera I'm seizing every opportunity! I'm putting together a 5x5 album of her at the age of 3 and I plan to do one every year from here on out.

This one is going to get printed LARGE:


Grace: Mommy can I wear my sunglasses for a picture?
Me: that would be fun! What kinda pose do you want to do with them on?
Grace: how about one like this mommy?
Me: snapping this picture while in complete amazement she comes up with such funny stuff! (I love her feet)


Happy Valentines Day!

Sneak Peak

Just a quick sneak peak into the intimate wedding I photographed on Saturday...more to come later. Christina made such a stunning bride and her EYES are amazing...

Image Boxes | New Products!

These black leather image boxes open up like a book and look just like an album when on the shelf or coffeetable. Inside they can hold up to 10 mounted 5x7 images as shown below so you can display one at a time on an easle or just keep them tucked away. Also available with a 4x6 image matted to 5x7.

or seniors!

She said Yes!

While waiting for Verizon to fix my cell phone yesterday (good times) I did a little shopping at Crazy8 for Gracie. I LOVE that store. They had a sale rack with $1.99 items...no so much after I was there! After getting home I asked if she wanted to model a little bit with her new clothes and sunglasses and she said YES! I couldn't believe it.

Visions of Earth | NGM

Upon entering the eye doctor's office today I walked up to the counter to check-in and glanced down at my feet to see a basket filled with magazines. Usually I take the opportunity to snatch up a copy of Glamour or Self so I can catch up on all the latest trends or read how to lose weight by eating chocolate cake. Under all those enticing titles I saw the yellow border that I immediately recognized as a National Geographic Magazine. See #10 below...

I came home (with another new pair of trial contacts!) and looked up the website, Visions of Earth, of which some images were published in the magazine. I loved the 2008 set.

Here's a screenshot from one of the amazing photographers, JCarrier.
